The accused pleaded guilty to multiple sexual offences against several young persons, including sexual interference, sexual assault, internet luring, and making and possessing child pornography.
The Crown applied for a long‑term offender designation under s. 753.1 of the Criminal Code.
The court reviewed psychiatric risk assessment evidence and found the offender presented a moderate risk of sexual reoffending, with a pattern of grooming behaviour toward vulnerable adolescents.
The court concluded that the statutory criteria for a long‑term offender designation were satisfied and that risk could be managed in the community through supervision.
A global penitentiary sentence of seven years and one month was imposed along with a five‑year long‑term supervision order and several ancillary orders.
